The kinetic, mutual and parallel resolution of a series of structurally related active esters derived from 2-phenylpropanoic acid using a combination of quasi-enantiomeric oxazolidin-2-ones is discussed.

The parallel kinetic resolution of racemic 1-phenylethanol using an equimolar combination of quasi-enantiomeric 2-arylpropionic and butanoic acids mediated by a N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC)/3,5-lutidine coupling is discussed. The levels of dia...
